Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, and Dynapac, supplier of high-tech soil and asphalt rollers, light equipment and pavers, have announced the compatibility of auto-steering and screed edge control features on Dynapac asphalt pavers with the Leica iCON pave solution. This solution will be available on the Dynapac SD25 and XD25 Highway Paver series, a next-generation line of paving machines set to debut at bauma 2025.
This partnership aims to enhance the precision and efficiency of asphalt paving operations by combining Dynapac's paving machinery with Leica Geosystems' innovative machine control technology. In addition, the integration of new auto-steering and edge control features will enable pavers to follow stringline design models with millimeter accuracy, eliminating the need for traditional strings-and-pins methods and reducing costs, while improving productivity.
With the Leica iCON pave machine control system, operators benefit from automated guidance and precise screed width adjustments based on a digital stringing design. The system enhances site sustainability by optimizing material usage, minimizing waste and ensuring more accurate material estimation throughout the paving process. Moreover, it enhances safety by eliminating physical hazards such as stringlines, pins and other marking materials from the jobsite.
